Here it is! Enjoy! The next chapter is currently in the works :)
5. Confession
As the weeks flew by, I realized the more time I spent with Emmett, the deeper I fall in love with him. Which scared and confused me at the same fucking time and it was beginning to piss me off. The mating pull would get worse as the days went on. I had Emmett go into further details about the mating bond. When we're together the pull doesn't bother me at all, but when we're apart the pain is almost unbearable. He says it's because we're true mates. Vampires live for eternity and can have multiple mates but only one true mate, there are vampires that are well over a thousand years old that still roam this earth without finding their true mate. I was also informed by Rose that once Emmett and I have mated and he's marked me, the mating pull pain will go away.
It was the first Tuesday of March and I was walking down the stairs, Bella was on the phone.
"No, Jess I'm not going."
'Oh, she's talking to Stanley. Where is she not going and why is she telling Stanley?'
Charlie walked in few minutes later and Bella hung up with Stanley. Chief grabbed a beer and walked into the front room. I turned at looked at Bella.
"So what did Stanley want?" That girl annoys me to no end.
"She was calling to ask my permission to ask Mike to the Girls Choice dance." I choked on the apple I just bit into. After my coughing fit I looked at Bella confused.
"Why the hell would she need your permission to ask out Newton?"
"She thought that I liked him and was going to ask him." I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Are you serious? Does she even realize that you find Newton a little too friendly, territorial and what's the word I'm looking for...Oh yeah, fucking creepy?"
"Obviously not. Are you going?" I knew what she was doing. She wanted the attention off of her.
"Nope, Emmett and I might go to the movies in Port Angeles."
"He didn't want to go."
"He asked me if that's something I wanted to do. Come on Bells, you know me better than that. I don't do dances. They're nothing more than a popularity contest and an excuse for those girls to show-off. Dances are stupid and I refuse to participate in that."
The next day at lunch, I was sitting with the Cullen's like usual. Mallory was glaring at me from across the cafeteria so I flipped her the bird and stood up. I dared her to do something, she turned away like the coward she is. I really hope one of these days she actually tries something, I'd love to mop the floor with her petty ass. I noticed that Newton and Stanley were avoiding each other. He must have turned her down.
"Penny, did you hear me?" Rose said
"I'm sorry what?"
"You didn't hear a word I said, did you?" She replied
"I'm sorry Rose, no I didn't. Was it about cars?"
"No, Alice and I were planning a shopping trip and I was wondering if you would like to come." She responded
"Yea, sure I'd like that. When?"
"Probably this weekend." She said
"Okay, sounds like a plan." After that I turned to Emmett. He was already staring at me. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"I know how you can put that tongue to better use." He said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Oh really, do tell Mr. Cullen."
He looked at me with an evil glint in his eye and he leaned over a whispered exactly what I can do with my tongue. I felt my face heat up and a shiver run down my spine. I grabbed his face and kissed him passionately. He then grabbed me out of my chair and pulled me onto his lap. I ran my fingers through his hair. His strong hands gripped my ass. I did a slow grind on his lap and he moaned into my mouth.
"Hey, can you guys please tone down your lust? You're killing me over here, I'm 30 seconds from pouncing on Alice, and I usually don't like severe public displays of affection." Jasper begged
"Control your thoughts as well." Edward replied. I broke the kiss and I looked over at Jasper and Edward. They both looked like they were in extreme pain. I smiled apologetically and slid off Emmett's lap back into my chair.
"Well if you'd admit it to yourself that you're in love with Bella and then tell her then you won't be bothered by our thoughts. You'll have your own mate to lose yourself in." Emmett said
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Yea babe, Edward can't stay away from her. He sneaks into the house while you all are sleeping to watch her sleep." Emmett replied.
WTF? Stalker much?! That's just fucking disturbing. Seriously, what the actual fuck dude?"
"I apologize. I just can't help it. I want to be use to her blood, I want to beat the monster in me, that wants to kill her, into submission" Edward said
"I can't say I that I understand why her blood calls to you so much. Emmett had to explain it to me. He also told me about his singers. You creeping into her room is what is disturbing to me. Don't ever do that shit again, unless she's aware that you're there and wants you to stay. If you want to get used to her scent, sit with her at lunch. Also, that's not love. That's obsession. Huge difference."
Emmett winked at me. I realized that I never felt this passionate about a guy before. Emmett really is bringing out a new side of me. I like it very much at the same time I hated it. I was thoroughly confused but nothing I couldn't handle so I winked back. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. We walked hand in hand to Government class.
The school day came to a close and I was waiting by Bella's truck for her. I noticed Yorkie leaning against the hood.
"Hey Yorkie, what's up?"
"Oh hey Penny, just waiting for Bella." He replied
"Okay, what do you want to talk to Bella about?" Just as I said that Bella walked up. She unlocked her truck and I climbed in.
"Hey Eric what's up?" She asked
"I was wondering if you would go to the dance with me?" He asked a litle to hopefully
"I thought is was girls choice." she responded
"Yea well..." he said
"I'm sorry Eric, I'm going to be out of town." She replied
"Stop lying to these boys, she doesn't want to go with you, now go home."
Eric looked dejected and walked away with his shoulders slumped. She looked at me shocked and Cullen walked by trying his hardest not to laugh. She got in, slammed the door, started her truck and began to pull out of the lot but Edward managed to get into his car and backed out quicker. He was waiting for his siblings but they was still by the cafeteria. Alice must have seen this and told him.
A line developed behind Bella and I noticed Crowley had acquired a used Sentra. As we waited unless it cleared. I saw Crowley leave his car and come knock on the window on my side. I refused to roll it down. Bella reached across me and rolled it down, it got stuck halfway down.
"I'm sorry Tyler, I'm stuck behind Cullen." she said
"It's okay. I wanted to ask you something while we're stuck here." he replied. OMG! Is he serious? I turned and looked at Bella, the look on her face was priceless.
"What Tyler?" she said sharply
"Will you ask me to the spring dance?" he said
"I'm not going to be in town Tyler." she said hotly
"Yea, Mike said you said that." he replied
"Then why would you?" she asked
"I figured you were just letting him down easily." he said
"I really going to be out of town." she said.
"It's cool, we still have prom." he said walking away.
I leaned out the window and shouted "SHE'S LYING! SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GO WITH YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE FOR THAT MATTER AND I WOULDN'T HOLD MY BREATH IF I WERE YOU CROWLEY!"
By that time the rest of the Cullen's had already slid into the Volvo and I clearly saw Edward, Emmett and Jasper laughing. Bella's foot pressed down on the accelerator itching to just bump the car, but Edward was already speeding out of the parking lot. She drove the rest of the way home muttering to herself.
Once we reached home she decided to make chicken enchiladas for dinner. I diced the peppers, onions and chicken. She's too distracted. Last thing we needed was for her to take a trip to the emergency room. She was obviously starting to fall in love with Edward. That stunt he pulled was all the proof I needed to know that he is jealous of the male attention she's getting. I'm curious to know if they're true mates like Emmett and I. Could she feel his presence before she see him too? I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
Dinner was enjoyable. Bella told Charlie about her plans on Saturday and of course in this small ass town he wanted to know if she'll be back in time for the dance. I laughed at her expression. After dinner I went into my room and I went into my closet and grabbed Leah's letters. There was fifteen of them. I opened them and organized them by date. The first one was dated for April 2.
"Penny,
Don't be mad but my father got your address from Charlie. I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you about Paul's cheating. When Sam came and told me, at first I didn't want to believe it. I never thought Paul was capable of doing that, especially after hearing the way he talks about you. He talked about you like you were his whole world. He even told his father that you were his future wife. I am completely torn up about this. I wouldn't believe it I told Sam to stop lying on him, but I saw for myself. It broke my heart as much as yours because I introduced you to him and vouched for him. Please write me back. I miss my best friend
Lee Lee
The rest of the letters were just like the first. Leah confessing her part in my heartbreak and her reasoning behind not telling me. By the time I finished the letter I had tears streaming down my face. I realized I was crying because I missed her more than I let on. It's been long enough. I'm going to make a trip to La Push before the year is out and make amends with Leah.
The next day at school was a bore. Lunch rolled around quickly and I noticed that Edward wasn't sitting with us. I looked all around the cafeteria and found him sitting with Bella. I wonder if he's finally admitting to himself that he shouldn't be betting against Alice. Seeing them sitting together reminded me that I made a bet with Jasper and Emmett that I'd won.
"Babe, Jasper pay up!" Rosalie turned to look at me.
"What are you talking about Penny?" she asked.
I told her about the bet Jasper, Emmett and myself made on how long before Edward starts talking to Bella again. I knew that after yesterday when Newton, Yorkie and Crowley asked her to the dance, Edward's jealousy would get the better of him.
"Oh seriously guys, I didn't have to ask Alice I knew he wasn't going to last long." she said.
I laughed as Emmett and Jasper both grumbled and passed me my money.
"Awe, cheer up babe," I grabbed the back of Emmett's hair and ran my fingers through it. I still couldn't get over how full and soft it was. I pulled him closer and kissed him. He returned my kiss eagerly. After another fifteen minutes the bell rang and we set off for our classes. At the end of the day Emmett told me he was going hunting with Edward so he can be prepared to spend the day in Seattle with Bella. I wasn't happy about missing time with him but I knew he needed to hunt and I didn't want to come off as a super clingy, needy girlfriend.
The next day I sat with Rosalie, Alice and Jasper. Alice predicted a thunderstorm in the next couple of days. They were excited about it because it was the only time they could play baseball and honestly I was excited too. After school I waited for Bella. Once she was inside I drove off. It was silent for a few minutes before Bella spoke up.
"Some of us are going to First Beach tomorrow. Did you want to come?" I remember First Beach being wet and cold. The hell if I'm going. Beaches are hot and dry. No thanks
"Is Stanley and Mallory going too?"
"Yes."
"Pass."
"The only reason I'm going is because I promised Mike and Angela."
"Angela is going?"
"Yea."
"Fine I'll go, just because I have a feeling Mallory might make this trip unpleasant for you and I just love shutting her bony ass down, that and I like Angela" Bella laughed a little.
"I'm driving there and back. The fuck if I'm going to be in Newton's suburban pressed against window." Bella started laughing hysterically. I chuckled a bit.
The next day I woke up to the sun in my face. I jumped out of bed and ran to the window. Wow! The sun really was shining. That's crazy. I got dressed and found Bella in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal and I joined her. Afterwards we left and headed to Newton's. Once we got there I saw Mallory and Stanley. I got out and sat on the hood of my car while Bella went to go talk to Newton. After Lee showed up they started assigning seats. I told Angela and Bella that they can ride with me. Bella made sure Mallory and Crowley were sitting next to each other and that Stanley was in the front seat with Newton. Once everyone was situated we headed toward La Push.
I sat down on a rock by the fire pit as they started setting up. I noticed Newton trying to impress Bella by lighting the fire pit.
"It's blue"
She sounded so surprised. I rolled my eyes at her expression. I knew that from all the bond fires I attended while I was dating Paul. The group split into two and Bella set of to go hiking through the tide pools. I stayed behind.
"Penny?" Mallory called in her annoyingly nasal voice
"What?" I didn't even bother to look at her.
"How come you didn't invite Emmett?" I rolled my eyes
"I wasn't aware that I had to."
"Well we're all on an outing maybe he'd like to go for a swim." I sighed
"Don't worry about what Emmett wants, that's my job. Mind your fucking business bitch." I finally looked over at her and dared her to say something. She turned back toward Tyler. Soon some kids from the reservation showed up. After a while the rest of the group came back. I noticed Jacob looking up at Bella as she was being introduced. She came and sat by me and Angela.
After a while again the group split up again and it was just Bella, Jacob, Mallory, Crowley, Sam and myself.
'Great! one boy who is crushing on Bella, an annoying nasal vindictive bitch, a boy who looks like he'll do anything for a pretty girl and the man whose partly responsible for the humiliation I suffered two spring breaks ago. Great! FML!'
I stood up and walked over to Sam.
"Hey Sam. It's good to see you. How have you been? How's Leah?"
"I'm good. It's good to see you too and I haven't spoken to Leah since our break-up." That threw me for a loop. I truly thought they would get married. Now I really need to see my friend.
"Hey Penny..." I looked up at him.
Damn, did he grow at least a foot and a half since the last time I saw him.'
He had that familiar 'I want to explain' look on his face. I knew what he was going to say.
"Sam don't, okay. I know what you're going to say. Its okay. I forgave you. I'm fine."
"You sure." He looked unsure.
"Yea. I'm fine."
He put his hand on my arm. His hand was hot, like he had a fever. I was just about to ask if he was sick when I overheard Mallory asking Bella why didn't anyone think to invite the Cullen's. Oh, I know what this sneaky bitch was doing. I didn't give her what she wanted so she's going to provoke Bella. Before Bella could even respond Sam did.
"Dr. Carlisle Cullen's family" Mallory turned toward Sam and sneered.
"Yes, you know of them?"
"The Cullen's don't come here." Aw damn. They way he said that I know for a fact Bella caught that and it has aroused her suspicion. I looked over a Bella and noticed the wheels turning in her head. I saw her eyeball Jacob. Holy crap. Before she could do anything I jumped up.
"Bella, come with me please."
She looked at me as if I just lost my mind. I know I can't stop her from figuring out the Cullen's secret but I'll be damned if I'm going to let Jacob unconsciously break the treaty his grandfather put into place, just because a pretty girl paid him the slightest bit of attention.
"I was..." I cut her off before she continued.
"Please, I'll help you with whatever you need."
She reluctantly followed me back to Jesse. We sat in the car and after about five minutes of an awkward silence.
"I knew what you planning to do and that's not fair to Jacob"
"I don't know what you're talking about." I rolled my eyes.
"Oh please, tell that to someone who doesn't know you like I do. You were planning on pretending to flirt with Jake and pump him for information as to what Sam meant when he said what he did. I can tell you right now that it'll work but at the expense of you gaining another admirer. He doesn't have much experience with girls and his older twin sister's aren't around to teach him how to spot a girl with true or fake intentions. Please don't play with his feelings like that. It isn't fair to him. I don't even know how I know, but I do." She nodded in agreement.
"Do you know what Sam meant?"
I couldn't lie to my best friend but I also refused to betray Emmett's trust. If I tell her the Quileute Tribal Legends then I'm not violating anything. She's a smart girl, she'll figure it out. I took a deep breath and told her the tribal legends and that's all I told her. I didn't even mention Carlisle by name. I just said a coven of blood drinkers or when referring to Carlisle specifically I just said the head of the coven. I'm truly proud of myself. I was as cryptic as possible.
The others started making their way back to the suburban. I asked Angela, once she slid in the back who brought her to Newton's. She told me Stanley did so I just dropped her off at home since it was on the way back to Charlie's house. Once we returned home Bella said she didn't want any dinner and ran upstairs. Charlie ordered pizza and I sat with him. Bella yelled down that she was going to use my laptop. I yelled back okay and continued watching the game with Charlie. It was after ten when I went upstairs to bed. I noticed that Bella still had my computer. I laid across my bed and grabbed my phone. Rose and Alice texted me telling me to come over tomorrow. I replied back that I would. I then texted Emmett.
'Hey, sexy man. I miss you :(' My phone chimed about a minute later
'Awe beautiful turn that frown right side up. I miss you more. :)'
'Not possible. I went to First Beach today.'
'Oh yeah, did you make amends with Leah? I know you said you wanted too.'
This is why I love Emmett. Even though his family and the Quileutes aren't on good terms because of what they are. He still doesn't mind me going to La Push. I have a strong feeling that Bella would stop going to La Push if Edward told her not to. If they get together.
'No and I really should make a day and go see her, I might go the next time Charlie, her father and Billy go fishing.'
'Make it happen babe.'
'Did you catch any grizzlies?'
'Oh yea, a huge mama grizzly. ;)'
'Awe, shit. Did she put up a fight?'
'Not a first, only after I killed her mate. She a fiery little thing. Reminds me of you. ;)'
'Is that right? Well, I can assure you Mr. Cullen, that you have yet to see me at my full 'fiery little thing' potential. ;p'
'Do tell Ms. Rosas ;p'
'Well for one, when we do eventually mate. I'll show you an few tricks I have that'll make you question whether or not I'm as innocent as I say! ;)
'Damn it babe, I can't wait for that moment either. I'm going to mark you where the entire universe knows that you belong to EMMETT DALE MCCARTY CULLEN' ;P
'Oh yea definitely.'
'When is this big moment exactly, so I can know.'
'I'm thinking that I be a total cliche high school student and lose my virginity on the biggest night in every girl dreams. PROM NIGHT! LMAO'
'LMAO! Babe, I'm already the experienced lover. The best you'll ever have.'
I felt a shiver run up and down my spine. Wait a damn minute! That's big talk for a vampire whose says he's been celibate for the last 70 years.
'Yea babe, actions speak louder than words.'
'Well then I guess I'm just going to have to show you. ;)
'I guess so. Well I'm going to bed. I'll text you tomorrow. Goodnight my monkey man. ;)
'Alright, goodnight my beautiful raven haired ANGEL. :)'
I put my phone on the charger. I tip toed across the hall to Bella's room and peeked in. She was sprawled across her bed knocked out. 'Well, at least Eddie's not being a creeper and watching her sleep.' Yes, I can detect when Edward's here or not based on his scent. I spend so much time with the Cullen's that I'm able to identify them by their scent. I walked back across the hall and collapsed onto my bed and fell asleep.
I woke up to the sun in my face again. I got up and dressed, as I walked into the kitchen Bella was walking in through the back door. I fixed my bowl of cereal and sat at the kitchen table. She sat down with me. She was silent until I finished my cereal. As I washed my bowl she spoke, well whispered...
"I know what they are."
I dropped my bowl back into the sink. 'Why exactly am I shocked? I knew she'd figure it out eventually. I just didn't think she'd get it this quickly.' I turned around and tried to be coy.
"What are you talking about Bells?"
"The Cullen's. They're vampires. You know Penny, I know you do. Why didn't you tell me? I thought I was your best friend."
I sighed.
"It isn't my secret to tell Bells. I will not betray their trust like that,"
I looked up at Bella and she was chewing her bottom lip. I went upstairs and grabbed my cell phone and keys. I looked at my screen and saw I had a missed text message from Rosalie. I opened my phone to read what she typed.
'Pack a bag, you're staying until Wednesday. Tell Charlie that you'll just ride to school with us.'
'Okay. I got something to tell everyone.'
'Okay?!'
I threw together three outfits and grabbed my toiletries travel bag and tossed it in my duffel bag. I know for a fact, Rosalie is going to be pissed Bella now knows. I walked back downstairs and seen Bella sleeping on the ground or at least I think she's sleeping. I left a note for Charlie and Bella letting them know where I'll be. I got into Jesse and drove off. The sun was shining beautifully, it was a rarity in Forks.
I pulled up into the Cullen's driveway and got out. That's odd. Usually Emmett's outside waiting to greet me, then it hit me 'the sun effects us in a different way where it's obvious' I wondered if I'll see what Emmett. meant by that. I knocked on the door and heard a soft 'come in.' I walked into the living room where all of the family was sitting. The sun was facing their back glass wall. They were strategically placed around the living room careful to avoid the sun streaming through the windows. I noticed Emmett was back. I walked over to him, sat in his lap and wrapped my arms around him. I took his masculine scent in and sighed with content. I also noticed Edward wasn't around.
"Where's Edward?"
"Where do you think he is?" Rose snorted
"Well call him back here. Something has happened."
"What is it Penny?" Carlisle asked
"I'd rather wait until Edward gets here so I don't have to repeat myself."
"He'll be home in five minutes." Alice said.
After five minutes he came through the door.
"What's the emergency?" He questioned.
"You were watching Bella, weren't you." He didn't respond. He just looked like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar then he quickly schooled his expression to a blank one.
"Is that all, because we all knew where he went." Sebastian said
"No that's not it. I don't know how to say this but Bella now knows that you all are vampires."
"WHAT?!" Rose screeched. She looked toward Edward. "You selfish jackass, how could you?"
"Rose, Edward didn't tell her. I told you all that Bella would figure it out. She's the daughter of a cop, so she has a natural suspicious personality, maybe I should start from the beginning."
"Please, so we all can better understand." Esme said
I recapped everything that happened yesterday at La Push and because of Mallory's big ass mouth and Bella's natural suspicion, she was going to pretend to flirt with Jacob Black to get him to spill, and this morning in the kitchen...
"As is Billy Black's son?" Carlisle asked
"Yea, he also has older twin sisters Rachel and Rebecca. I know Jake's older twin sisters, well so does Bella but I know them more personally. Bells was always too shy to talk to them."
I continued telling them about Bella's attempt to flirt with Jake and how I jumped in the way. I told them that I was really struggling on keeping my promise to Emmett and not lying to Bella. I told them how I told Bella about the Tribal Legends but didn't mention them by name.
"So what did Bella say?" Sebastian asked
"She asked me what do the Cullen's have to do with these cold ones. I told her I didn't know. I also told her that it wasn't fair to Jake for her to play with his emotions like that. I was as cryptic as possible."
After finishing my story Rose managed to calm down with Jasper's help a little. They were a little on edge until I told them that Bella will take their secret to her grave. She feels like I do. It's not our secret to tell.
"How does she feel about me?" Edward asked
"For whatever reason, only known to her, she has feelings for you. I've never seen her show this much interest in any guy. Not here in Forks or back in Phoenix."
"Why, I'm nobody special. She doesn't need a monster in her life."
"OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS? FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU ARE NOT A MONSTER!"
"Yes, I am. I'm a cold blooded killer." Edward replied.
I was about to rip him a new one, when I realized I can't hurt him physically. I'm going to do it mentally.
"Okay, so you're a monster, right?"
"Yes." Edward replied
"So what you're saying is Carlisle's a monster too. He created you, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett. That makes him a bigger monster than all of you combined."
"NO! That's not what I meant." Edward replied
"But that's exactly what you are implying. If you're a monster than Carlisle is one too since he saved you and brought you into this afterlife."
He looked around at Carlisle and sputtered an apology. Of course Carlisle being Carlisle forgave him. I looked at him and shook my head.
"You're an idiot, and a stalker but not a monster. everyone has a past they're not proud of. You overcame it and move on." He looked up at me with a wayward expression.
"Do you really believe that?" Edward asked
"I don't believe it, I know it for a fact. I know that once you get your head out of your ass. You'll see what your family does. You're an idiot but a lovable bi polar idiot. Bella, for her own reasoning wants to be with you but doesn't think she's good enough"
I saw Rose roll her eyes and grumble under her breath. I walked over and sat across from her and before I could even speak, Emmett move to stand in front of me to protect me from the legend that is Rosalie's wrath.
"Babe, I'm okay. I know you're worried but you said it yourself that Rose wouldn't do anything to cause you harm or pain. If I'm your world like you say I am, then she won't hurt me. Will you Rose?"
I looked at her and she looked up at Emmett then back to me.
"Move Emmett, I actually like Penny. I won't hurt her. Have more faith in me." Rose stated. Emmett reluctantly moved from in front of me to right behind me.
"Rose, I know you don't like Bella because she's already willing to give up her human life for a immortal afterlife, but you never know what type of vampire she'll turn out to be. Alice only she's her as one of you, but she can't see if Bella will be gifted or not."
"Well, that could be true, but she's still giving up so much." She replied
"How do you know, Bella has never liked children. When I used to babysit to earn extra cash, she'd stay in her room until the kids left." She looked deep in thought. I decided to drive my point home.
"You all know Edward can't read her mind, she probably has a gift that prevents Edward from penetrating her mind. I mean your spouse can move objects with his mind, and soundproof a house, Alice can see the future, Jasper can sense, control and manipulate emotions. How do you know Bella won't have a second gift as well? Maybe she'll have the gift of fertility and make it possible for you and Esme to conceive."
She looked at me and then her eyes glazed over a little bit. I got up and moved over toward Emmett. I looked up at my man and couldn't help but smile. He's so handsome, I love it.
After our conversation, Emmett escorted me to his basement room. I put my duffel in his closet and put my toiletries bag into his bathroom. I came back out and he was laying on the bed with his hands clasped behind his head. I climbed into the bed and snuggled up next to him. He's a little warm.
"Did you buy heated blanket?"
"Yes. I know I'm a walking freezer so I bought it so we can cuddle without you getting the chills."
"That's so sweet and thoughtful of you." I kissed him on the cheek. We laid there in a comfortable silence for hours until Esme called down to let me know she made me dinner.
After dinner I showered and climbed back into Emmett embrace. I snuggled under the covers closer to him.
"Babe?" Emm said
"Hmm?"
"Are you going to school or do you want to ditch with me and I'll show you what I look like in the sun." I stifled a yawn and nodded.
"That's not answering my question." Emm teased
"I'll ditch, the teacher's aren't teaching anything new that I don't already know."
"You have no idea." Emm replied
"It must suck, moving every five to seven years and repeating school."
"That's what happens when you have an eternity." Emm said
"Yea it would seem so." My eyelids were getting heavier with every yawn.
"Get some sleep babe, I'll be here in the morning." Emm said tucking me tighter under the covers. I uncovered my hand
"Pinky promise?" I stuck my pinky out. He chuckled and wrapped his larger pinky around my smaller one.
"Pinky promise."
I just nodded and began my decline into sleep. I was fading into unconsciousness when I said as quietly as I could.
"I love you." The last thing I heard and felt was him pulling me closer to him and whispering ever so softly "I love you too Penny."
Author's Note:
To all my lovely followers:
I recently came across two reviews brought something to my attention. (Yes, I read your reviews)
One: I will be doing the complete series and no Penny doesn't have the wolf gene in her DNA. Her ancestor come from the Najavo Tribe or so she's been told.
Two: I know some of you are wondering if Penny can prevent Bella's birthday disaster and ultimately the Cullen's departure. Unfortunately, no that won't change but I have a reason behind it. A plot twist concerning Penny's true parentage comes out. Now. I'm not going to divulge too much information but I'll give you a teaser.
There's a reason why she didn't normally freak out about the Cullen's true identity. Yes she believes in other worldly creatures but there's another reason as well, one she doesn't understand...yet.
Stay Tuned...
